What Causes Thumping Heart Beat With The Feeling Of Blood Rush In Head?

I can feel my blood pressure rising and it feels like all the blood is rushing to my head. I can t even hear because the pounding is so loud. I feel sick about 25% of the day because of this. I m also having some bloody discharge and cramping. Is that related? Should I get BP medicine?

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be related to anxiety.

Anyway, I recommend you to closely monitor blood pressure values in the next days (in sitting position after 10 minutes of total relax) and take note of those values.

If your blood pressure values are above the normal ranges (125/85mmHg) most of the time, I would recommend starting antihypertensive therapy.

I would also recommend checking thyroid hormone levels in order to exclude possible thyroid gland dysfunction.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
